Spent the morning at school trying to jam some more knowledge into my kid's skulls before the AP exam next Friday. Then more of Abby's swim meet in Orem. Those things can drag on as long as any track meet.

Will try and run some later. 

PM: Four easy miles on the treadmill.

Dang, you weren't kidding about your Saturday mornings. That's busy.

I feel your pain with the swim meets. I think they are longer than track meets. Wait until the three-day meets (if she is still doing it). What is worse is the races are usually less than a minute or so - and you have to wait through so many heats and races...and sometimes your child is distracted and they MISS their heat!

Steve - I just noticed you ran another marathon today. I didn't even know there was a marathon today. It's amazing how quickly I've become unplugged from the local racing scene.

Bret - Abby had six events over two days. Actually five since we bailed on the las event last night so we could be home by 10 PM.

So ... here is a thought. "According to the Taiwan Economic News, the Horizon Evolve compact treadmill is the thinnest and lightest treadmill available (as of 2011), weighing just 99 pounds."

Maybe you should pack one along to the swim meets, AP prep sessions, etc. I bet you could find a nice duffel bag in a pretty color to go with it!! :) :) :)
